George W. Bush Chases Osama Bin Laden : A Child’s Toy…

A while ago I brought to your attention to the “Path Cra” game which features a model of George W. Bush on a machine-gun equipped tank chasing a skate board-riding Osama Bin Laden. This was found on sale in Seychelles and given to me as a present.

Here’s a short (sadly silent) video showing the Chinese made toy :

It’s so wrong on so many levels that you just can’t help but love it. Thank you Sandra for finding it and Gay for bringing it back to the UK for me.

I think it’s worth seeing the box again, so here it is…

‘High Culture’ in Education

Today the Government has promised that :

“…each child will have access to “at least five hours of high-quality culture per week.”

before stating that :

“The idea of the scheme we’re putting forward is very much for schools and local authorities to come forward with their plans.”

In other words they’ve come up with another pleasing sound bite without any thought given to how these five hours are going to be shoe-horned into an already overcrowded curriculum, leaving schools and local authorities to waste time trying to second guess the Governments ideas so they don’t get another bollocking from Ofsted.

And another thing :

“Some of this could be delivered in the school day, but also we want to give young people the opportunity to do more out of the school day.”

How long before the school day is extended?

Get the children in school so that the parents can work longer hours earning more tax for the Government money to spend on big houses and playthings to keep the children busy because after all those hours working to make life ‘good’ you’ve no energy to enjoy it.

It gets worse…
